Ah! Get it off sinclairs mate. That's a frigging rip off. Mine showed up within a week and was way cheaper than that.
It is plasticky but works very well. So far happy with mine and faster than my Pact system, which I use in tandem with it.
The dirt dart, kiwi39 has one as well.

Nah buy this:
http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm...rodID=PC050068
This?
GEN6 COMPACT TOUCH SCREEN POWDER SYSTEM | Sinclair Intl
Is it an american site? and in american dollars I guess?
Will I actually get it and not be held up by some screw that is in a rattle gun as well? (ITAR)
Will it be 240v?
Will some prick max out my credit card?
If you havent guessed by now I have never bought anything online other than trade me.
I'll have a look in my catalogue, you want me to buy it for ya. I have a brownells frequent flyer cardQuote:

I have used them for years and never had a drama.
Mine was plug n play.
Easy to use and fast. The only thing I don't like or haven't found, is if it undercharges a throw you can't trickle it to measure like I can with my pact system.
It has gone up in price a little from when I got mine.

No, mine is the Hornady version. I have one from Natchez (store name). I have brought a few things from them with no issues. This one is $199USD + ~$60USD shipping. Im guessing that will come to about $300NZD. I just used a US to NZ adapter plug that came with my cell phone and there are no dramas.Quote:

Yep I have one. If you get it set up right it is good. If it throws over I pop that into the manual scales and adjust from there. Haven't noticed any drift and the loads are accurate enough for me to do okay in local gun club comps...Quote:

I've got one too and it does the job really well . Coupla little foibles with it, few tricks , etc, but no showstoppers
I got mine from Sinclairs as well. Their service has proven to be excellent.
Gee we have to support our own economy at some stage dont we?.......
Im no better tho all my decoys are from cabelas

Until it warms up it may throw under or over .1 of a grain. I just dump it back in and push the button.Quote:

I have thrown all types of powder including ASN-30 shotgun powder.
It comes ready to go with correct plugs.
Easy as and fast!

I agree. Just a vicious circle though unfortunately, not a big enough market for them to compete here, and then we buy overseas making the market that much smaller. My money though.Quote:

think about the hassle of shipping if you need warranty repairs too. cheaper than chargemaster.
There is always the McDs straw upgrade. I have this on my RCBS and it seldom goes over weight, even with stick powder.Quote:

These r awesome but expensive. Fast reloading . We weighedvheaps of them accurate as But buy one with a mate or two is the ticket !!
Must say i'm a fussy bastard and ive had a good run out of my hornady
I've got a hornady lock n load. Very happy with it, but the time I've charged and seated a projectile, I'm ready for the next one

Now that you mention it I don't recall mine going over. It is always under by .1Quote:

Same here. It's always under not over. And that's a good thing.Quote:

Sweet, I may have to order one. Took me an age to measure 100 rounds of 308.
yea, been painstakingly weighing out powder on balance beams for years. Frustrating doing anymore than 20 odd. But kept telling myself for the price of a fly in trip I could keep doing it.
Selling a rifle gave me the excuse I needed :)

That's only 3 of the balance scales I was looking at. Maybe I should reconsider though I like time in the reloading room
I hate it as I always wait untill I run out of ammo then have to load hundreds at a time and would rather been doing something else.
no bloody way would i pay a hundred bucks for balance beams!Quote:

Maybe I should keep saving. But I don't reload that much that it bothers me yet
Yeah I hate balance beams, my digis are quicker but still require your complete attention and manual feeding so still uber time consuming.
then you'd hate using my lee scales with no powder trickler! sucks when I put too much in and have to scoop some out.
Yeah thats what I used before getting what I currently have. Horrible. Tweezers make it a bit easier when you overload them.
The ones I currently use I got for $30 from trademe and are accurate to .02gn and give very consistant loads but still take too long.
